Israeli Leader Suggests His Country Cannot Rely On US To Act Against Iran Over Nuclear Program

38. Uppity nations????

Did you seriously just write that? Not to be rude but rhetoric like that honestly sounds like something that the Klan would use when describing minorities.

Since you bring up the cold war, do you know that we were almost wiped out by a Soviet satellite glitch? Were it not for a junior officer, who was later dismissed from service, we would have been. It reported a missile launch on three separate occasions in the course of a few hours. It was actually IR from the sun.

Thinking that a nuclear bomb is a viable deterrent is at best delusional, and at worst completely insane. Take a look at Chernobyl. Twenty plus years on and it is still not habitable. The amount of fallout that would travel around the globe from ONE multi-megaton bomb could poison food production across entire regions.

It's easy to be an armchair general when talking about something like this, but the reality is that an above ground nuclear detonation ANYWHERE on the globe would cause serious issues for more than just the intended target.
